We’ve been in a bit of a funk this week, but a few of these obsessions helped brighten our days. Do not proceed unless you’re ready to commit hours of your life to the below sources of entertainment. Here’s what we’ve been up to in this week’s And Then We Tried obsessions.

I’m sure we’ve all been there, you’re running through the airport looking like a hot, sweaty mess and then you pass by someone impossibly chic and put together and you just crumple into your leggings a little more. Just me? Well, I’ve decided enough is enough and its time for ME to be the impossibly chic lady at the airport breezing past everyone looking like a million bucks. After lengthy internet research and a lot of stalking people at the airport, here’s my list of staples for creating a put together travel wardrobe that is guaranteed to make you look expensive while traveling. (Doesn’t matter if you’re rushing to get to your last row seat on Spirit or Frontier.)

As I mentioned in last week’s obsessions, I surprised Zac with a trip to Seattle for his 30th birthday! Neither of us had ever been and his sister and brother-in-law live out there, so it was a good destination for a long weekend. We definitely could have used another day or two, but here’s how I went about planning a weekend in Seattle.

Well, it’s been another whirlwind week around here! There isn’t much of a unifying factor to this week’s obsessions, which is our favorite kind. So, here’s what we’ve been up to in this week’s And Then We Tried obsessions.

Before departing on our trip to Greece a few weeks ago I was on the look out for the perfect travel-friendly wedding ring alternative. Any one else feel nervous wearing yours around? And on this particular day, I was in a dangerous shopping mood and was swayed to try one of the Enso silicone rings*. Now if you’ve looked into these, I know what you’re thinking; $40 for a bit of silicone? Yup, you heard it right. But before you get scared off, read on for our full Enso silicone ring review.

*This post is not sponsored. I really did spend $40 of my own dollars to try this baby out.

Okay, so I’m a little late on this kitchen progress update, like 1.5 years late, oops. Around November 2016, I started removing the gross green and white plaid vinyl flooring and to create DIY hardwood floors on the plywood subfloor that was underneath. To be totally honest, I started ripping the vinyl off a while before that and just lived with weird half floors for a while. Classic move. Keep reading to learn how to make your own DIY hardwood floors on your plywood subfloor.

One of us is getting rid of everything we own and the other is trying to get ALL THE THINGS. Anyone else having a dichotomous week? Other than obsessing over our possessions, here’s what we’ve been up to in this week’s And Then We Tried obsessions.

Remember when I showed you the inside of my disorganized linen closet? Well, before starting the One Room Challenge I buckled down and did a full DIY linen closet organization using things from around the house and a few new tools.

If you caught Michelle’s recap a couple weeks ago you’ll know one of the highlights of our one week itinerary was renting a car in Greece. It gave us SO MUCH FREEDOM. We’re obsessed with how easy it was to get around especially when in the end, it saved us money versus taxis to and from the airport.

Hannah and Michelle have a wedding on the east coast this weekend and are hoping to squeeze in some time in DC between festivities. Any recommendations on fun things to do or a place to grab lunch? Probably around the National Mall area so lunch can be between looking at monuments and history and stuff. Anyways, here’s what we’ve been up to in this week’s And Then We Tried obsessions.
